Costumes V Albumen silver print, by André-Adolphe Disdéri, 1863–67 The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York |
||||||||||
| The formal attire and poised demeanour of two individuals appears repeatedly as they alter pose, with some variation, emphasising fashion and social presentation. Presentation becomes a study in character, gesture, and dress as something tried, adjusted, and assessed within the studio setting, drawing attention to photography as a site of testing, rehearsal, and manufactured appearance. |
